In a recent episode of War Room, co-host Natalie Winters engaged in a critical discussion with Mike Benz, the Executive Director of the “Foundation for Freedom Online,” regarding alarming developments surrounding an attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.
“Mike, if you could sort of walk us through the suspicious circumstances,” Winters prompted, setting the stage for a serious examination of the threats facing Trump.
Benz responded with a chilling account: “Just one month ago, the President of the United States, the guy now leading in the polls to be President again. If he had proceeded just a few more holes of golf, he would have had his head blown off by a guy who was running a special visa scam, recruiting Afghan special forces and trying to get them special visas. And this is the exact guy who was waiting at hole 9, or whatever it was, in order to blow Trump’s head off.”
He further elaborated on the broader implications of this incident, stating, “We have a recurring pattern of CIA-born paramilitary groups operating internationally, coming home and trying to kill Trump.” This assertion raises serious questions about the safety of political figures in our current climate.
Benz also highlighted the troubling actions of the Justice Department, noting, “Just about a week ago, the Justice Department announced a so-called indefinite delay to the prosecution of Ryan Routh. And when that happened, I immediately said that this is the same problem that I predicted the Justice Department would have, which is that Ryan Routh was effectively doing military intelligence work, recruiting terrorist extremists from Afghanistan and trying to get them special visas.”
The conversation took a darker turn as Benz expressed concern over the media’s handling of these assassination attempts. “I think the main issue is they are normalizing the assassination of Trump. I mean, everyone forgot about the second assassination attempt in the mainstream media within a week and a half of it happening. And the first mainstream media attempt, they tried to control the initial response to it by saying that, you know, he had slipped and fell, there was an incident, rather than a shooting,” he stated.
In a related discussion, Winters addressed the government’s approach to free speech, particularly in the context of recent natural disasters. She referenced a statement from Secretary Mayorkas: “We are seeing horrific hate speech of all types propagated on online platforms. That deplorable speech has an impact on people’s lives, and it is also a motivating force for people to do harm.”
Winters countered this narrative with a pointed remark: “Well, if they want to combat hate, maybe they should start with the hatred that they have for this country because it is on full display.”
